About Fernando Volio Jiménez
Lived 1924 – 1996 (aged 71). Fernando Volio Jiménez was a Costa Rican politician and diplomat.
Fernando Anselmo Antonio Volio Jiménez (29 October 1924 – 21 May 1996) was a Costa Rican lawyer, diplomat and statesman. He was a member of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and served as foreign minister for a time. He was President of the Legislative Assembly of Costa Rica twice - 1968–1969 and 1987–1988.
His work on human rights was not entirely without controversy. His anti-communism made him a "tolerable" investigator of abuses under Augusto Pinochet and his report on the matter was criticized as too mild.
